Mindsip insights from this episode:
Implement plant-forward model to attract diverse customers
To avoid the commercial failure of many vegan restaurants, the "Love Life" cafe will be primarily plant-based but allow customers to add animal protein, meeting the market where it is.
Experience holistic wellness at Love Life center
John Mackey is launching "Love Life," a center combining a plant-forward restaurant, gym, spa, recovery modalities like cryotherapy and hyperbaric oxygen, and a medical center focused on lifestyle medicine.
Practice "I am" on inhale and "love" on exhale for meditation
A powerful meditation mantra received during a spiritual journey is to repeat "I am" on the inhale and "love" on the exhale.
Awaken from suffering through forgiveness and love
The book "A Course in Miracles" suggests we are asleep and dreaming of suffering, and the goal is to wake up by transforming the dream through forgiveness and love.
Name your internal critic to foster self-love
During a guided journey, he named his internal critic "Bob" to separate from it and instead identify with his loving "inner child," allowing him to feel unconditional self-love.
Practice gentle circular breathwork for deeper relaxation
A gentler, circular type of breathwork can be more powerful than intense Holotropic breathing because it allows you to relax into the experience more deeply.
Maintain company culture by limiting growth to 24% annually
Using the "Rule of 72," he found that growing a business faster than 24% a year (doubling every three years) causes the company's culture to become seriously diluted.
Embrace death awareness to live authentically and take risks
A conscious focus on the inevitability of death at a young age provided a sense of urgency to live authentically and take risks, rather than playing it safe.
